 Well I'm not sure if this counts as a plugin request, but one thing I've
 noticed about Pidgin is that when setting away "messages" you can't set a
 message for MSN/Windows Live Messenger, or rather... when I set an away
 message, my AIM and gmail accounts on pidgin will display the message, but
 yahoo and MSN do not.

 I also noticed that there seems to be no way to set the "personal message"
 on pidgin MSN, I usually use the "personal message" on MSN
 messenger/Windows Live Messenger(WLM) to become my Away message... without
 it, on pidgin, you can set it to away... but you can't tell anyone WHY
 you're away, or busy, etc.

 So far I've only really noticed the problem with MSN/WLM and yahoo when
 busy, and just MSN/WLM when away.

 Just wondering, because away messages can be VERY useful. Just a
 suggestion.

 P.S. - I've also had some trouble with re-connecting, I keep noticing that
 a lot of the time, accounts don't reconnect automatically.
